Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2313876 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Frequency Band: 2.4GHz operation (mandatory match)
• Function Type: RF Transceiver capability (mandatory match)
• Protocol Compatibility: Bluetooth v2.0 or equivalent wireless protocol
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and ECCN classification alignment
• Physical Form Factor: DIN Rail Mount or equivalent industrial packaging

The identified substitute part, Phoenix Contact 2901541, shares the core 2.4GHz frequency band and transceiver function. However, this substitute operates under FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) modulation with RS-232/RS-485 serial interfaces, representing a functional alternative rather than a direct pin-for-pin replacement. The substitute is classified as active product status with enhanced regulatory compliance (ROHS3 and REACH affected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 2313876 is obsolete, while the 2901541 is active. Active product status ensures continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Regulatory Alignment: Both parts share identical ECCN (5A002A1) and HTSUS (8517.62.0090) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment. The 2901541 meets enhanced RoHS3 compliance and is REACH affected, representing current regulatory standards.

Frequency and Function Compatibility: Both operate at 2.4GHz and provide transceiver functionality. The 2901541 employs FHSS modulation instead of Bluetooth v2.0, which affects protocol-level compatibility and must be evaluated against system requirements.

Interface and Data Rate: The 2901541 provides defined serial interfaces (RS-232, RS-485) and specified data rate (250kbps), whereas the 2313876 parameters are not fully documented. This difference requires assessment of existing system integration points.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2901541 directly replace the 2313876 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement depends on system-level protocol requirements. Both parts operate at 2.4GHz and provide transceiver functionality, but the 2901541 uses FHSS modulation with serial interfaces rather than Bluetooth v2.0. Interface compatibility and protocol stack requirements must be evaluated.

Q: What is the significance of the FHSS modulation in the 2901541?

A: FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) is a spread spectrum technique that differs from Bluetooth v2.0's implementation. FHSS provides frequency hopping capability for interference mitigation and is commonly used in industrial wireless systems. Compatibility depends on whether the receiving equipment supports FHSS demodulation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 2313876 features DIN Rail Mount capability. The 2901541 is specified as Bulk packaging. Physical form factor compatibility must be confirmed for mechanical integration into existing enclosures or mounting systems.

Q: Why is the 2901541 classified as General Purpose while the 2313876 is Industrial?

A: Application classification reflects intended use environments and design validation scope. The 2901541's General Purpose classification does not preclude industrial deployment but indicates broader applicability. System environmental requirements (temperature, humidity, EMI) should be cross-referenced with component specifications.

Q: What does REACH Affected status mean for the 2901541?

A: REACH Affected indicates the component contains substances regulated under the EU REACH regulation. This classification requires compliance documentation and may affect procurement in regulated markets. The 2313876 does not specify REACH status.
